x_Zombies8MyGF_x and Spikethenewb are just common forum trolls. EA should definitely remove PvP play and make all servers local again like in BF1942, 2, 3, 4, V. They play with their buddies and we can with ours. Then the hackers would be nonexistent if you don't want that on your own server.
And to educate the trolls, BF has had bots from day one with BF1942 and there were no hackers getting in the way as if they did, permaban immediately and problem solved.
I do like vinnieDAcleaner 's idea that if it is a verified server that maintains minimum health and weapons for bots then full XP should be allowed. Standard verified map setup. I did not have any issues with the limited XP progression BF2142 had. Could still have fun and progression.
Finally, to the tiny brained PvP trolls, we bought the game "as advertised" and we want what we paid for.
